When I first opened this package, I couldn’t believe it wasn’t a fruit flavored tea, because it had such a strong, fruity aroma. This is something that subsides once brewed, though, as the liquor is much softer in fragrance.
Softly sweet, smooth, and robust. This is really delicious. I like it very much! It has a nice undertone of sweetness that falls somewhere between honey and caramel. It is an invigorating tea. Delicious, slightly malty, but with a pleasant, wine-like finish that is fruity and slightly dry. Nice!
Really, really, nice! It’s a light black tea with a flavor I’d call “golden.” Not smoky or bitter, just warm and slightly dark with the smallest bit of brown-sugar sweet at the end of each sip. This was a sample from one of my tea-storm-rescuers, and I am grateful!
(After years of receiving Christmas ornaments from friends and co-workers—the usual annual token gift—I finally started putting names and dates on them. I hereby resolve to do the same with swaps and samples so I can thank the appropriate people as I go.)
Another from my tea sampler from Cuppa. It’s a light tea, not as robust as some of the blacks that I’ve had. It tastes slightly honey-like. This would make a fantastic Southern-style iced tea (unfortunately, I’m not a fan of sweet tea, but apparently make a very good pitcher when I try to). This would be a great basic black to always have on hand for guests who just want/like plain black tea.
Had enough for two cups; icing the second for Mama France to try.
ETA: This does make a great iced tea. The tea is still strong even after being diluted. Mama France is now asking what she would need to brew loose tea.
